Is there a High Def TV that looks good using a directv svideo connection? I bought a Toshiba 16:9 43" tube and the picture looks great with progressive scan DVD's but looks like crap with directv. I am taking it back and getting a different tv. The problem is I don't think it is the fault of Toshiba. Like I said the DVD picture is amazing. I am starting to think it is the fault of the whole HDTV industry. I went into Soundtrack today and had the sales person turn on SAT picture on a few of the HDTV ready sets and they all look like crap. They are pixeled and show a lot of artifacts. Does anyone know of a great tv that will not give me this problem? I am desperate for an awesome looking TV. Thanks

I own the Toshiba 40H80 and absolutely love it. Im not an expert in video, but I think the picture has looked great since the moment I plugged it in. I havent done one tweak. I got it for about $1500 at Onecall.com. It is last years model so it may not be easily available

I know one, but you might not like the price. Pioneer Elite. Although this year's non-Elites are using last year's Elite line doubler. And I have last year's Elite which looked great with DirecTV (I've since dumped DirecTV for other reasons). Just a softer picture than you would ideally want, but very good anyway. Even cable looks good.
